Abstract	Cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. var. cerasiforme) is a cultivated variety of tomato. It has become more popular all over the world because of a good source of vitamins A and C, solids content, good taste and fruit set even at high temperature (Prema et al., 2011). Its fruits are consumed more as a fruit rather than as a vegetable. Cherry tomato often called 'salad tomato' and is the probable ancestor of the cultivated tomato. Though cherry tomato became popular as a cash crop in some Asian countries is still new in India. It is, therefore, essential to assess the quantum of genetic variability, nature of character association with respect to different characters, which would help plant breeders in planning a successful breeding programme. Genetic parameters like genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV), phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV), heritability and genetic advance are useful biometrical tools for determination of genetic variability. The yield is a complex character, quantitative in nature and an integrated function of a number of component traits. Therefore, selection for yield per se may not be much rewarding unless other yield attributing traits are taken into consideration. In the agro-ecological perspective of India, information regarding variability on cherry tomato needs to be studied for a successful breeding programme to breed new varieties.
